What will this mean specifically? Will people still be able to speak in public in a language other than English? Will companies be forbidden from having their products in anything other than English? Many products now have both English and Spanish and sometimes other languages also (like VCRs and other electronics). Would all bilingual forms have to be destroyed? Or is this just a feel-good piece of legislation that will cost money and be meaningless?

They are free under the First Amenedment to say anything in any language. That will not change. Passing a constitutional amendment would be too difficult, and many people would be nervous about touching free speech rights.
